The Tree Line - 6/7/14 Lyrics

Foundations crumbling
Walls closing in
You're picking pieces up
Off of the floor
To start again

You say the words
Without looking up
Without calming down
You're busy tracing woodgrain
Along the floor
My mind is racing

And what you said
Is not what you meant
It's the words that are missing
That run through my head
Leave me awake
And keep me alone
In this empty apartment
That I called my home

Light fades from the room
The sun goes down
The panic blooms
The dust outlines the ghost
I will become
My things are packed

I sit in my car
Down by the dock
And watch ships go by
A blank page staring back
Across the sky
And I feel nothing

And what you said
Is not what you meant
It's the parts that are missing
That run through my head
Leave me awake
And keep me alone
In this empty apartment
That I called my home

I'll lasso the moon
And swim across the Charles
